“Bogolan 189 expresses the strength of African traditions. Its radical contrasts and deep hues recall the power of the earth, shaped into patterns that are both raw and sophisticated.”
What you can do with it — workshop recommendations:
- 2 loincloths → sewing set, traditional dress or handmade curtain.
- 1 loincloth → chic tunic, loose shirt or textile decoration.
Why it works:
Because it combines graphic intensity and artisanal nobility.
Each piece is hand-woven, dimensions may vary slightly.
Every purchase supports AES artisans and a small, woman-led business.
